Rusty spent Valentine's Day showering DuckDB extensions with love, opening a flurry of PRs (#1292-#1297) to enable 1.5 builds across adbc_scanner, crypto, datasketches, httpclient, shellfs, and webmacro. Meanwhile, fair-weather got romantic upgrades of its own: scoring unit tests, shareable forecast links, and a dog walking mode that warns when pavement temps could singe puppy paws. He also ventured into Apache Arrow territory, opening issue #49285 and PR #49286 to add buffer support to RecordBatch.serialize(), while finding time to support the DuckDB community on CRT mismatch issues and agent data extensions.

Rusty kicked off Valentine's Day Eve with a romantic gesture to the Apache Software Foundation: 42 PRs to microsoft/vcpkg (snagging the coveted PR #50000!) to migrate a dozen ASF packages to official archive URLs. Meanwhile, fair-weather blossomed into a full-fledged progressive web app with cycling and stargazing modes, complete with gear recommendations and astronomical calculations—because why check the weather when you can optimize it? He also shepherded a fleet of Query-farm DuckDB extensions through version bumps on duckdb/community-extensions, enabling 1.5 builds for tsid, stochastic, tera, and friends.

Rusty went spelunking in Apache Arrow's IPC dictionary serialization and surfaced with a discovery: dictionary messages were silently vanishing into the void. He filed issue #49258 and immediately followed up with PR #49262 to add proper public APIs for reading and serializing these elusive dictionary messages. Meanwhile, airport got some TLC with build fixes to keep pace with the main branch.

Rusty spent the day split between the shadows and the spotlight—seven commits to Project 337classified project kept the classified engines humming, while he surfaced to champion better security docs on apache/arrow (issue #49241) with a call for validation function guidance. He also jumped into the trenches of duckdb/duckdb to help debug a gnarly batch index collision issue (#20068), because sometimes a good DuckDB mystery is too tempting to resist.

Rusty spent the day juggling classified operations on Project 337classified project with a flurry of 11 commits behind closed doors, while moonlighting as community support guru on the Query-farm extensions. He provided thoughtful feedback on PR #40 and PR #39 for airport (including DuckDB v1.4.4 compatibility and catalog header support), and weighed in on issue #285 over at extension-ci-tools about vcpkg baseline updates—because someone's gotta keep the dependency train running smoothly.

Rusty split his 16 commits between five repos and the shadows of Project 337classified project, where 14 classified commits hint at something significant brewing behind closed doors. On the public front, he merged PR #39 on airport to add catalog headers, bumped adbc_scanner versions across the DuckDB community extensions (opening PR #1234), and played tech support hero across four different issues—helping users with DuckDB-wasm questions on tributary, debugging a gnarly BatchedDataCollection error on adbc_scanner, fielding version compatibility requests, and fixing documentation issues on fuzzycomplete.

Rusty spent the day knee-deep in classified operations with 12 commits to Project 337classified project, keeping the details firmly under lock and key. Between covert maneuvers, he surfaced to help debug a curious pipe process issue on shellfs (issue #9), where read_text and read_blob were mysteriously failing while their CSV and JSON siblings worked perfectly fine—a classic case of sibling rivalry in the filesystem.

Rusty spent the day polishing duckdb-developer-day-1-extension-workshop with a flurry of fix commits—the kind of iterative tweaking that makes workshops actually work when people show up. He also jumped into the DuckDB community trenches, replying to issue #291 on duckdb-python about Pandas v3's new string dtype causing trouble, because someone's gotta keep the extension ecosystem running smoothly.

Rusty spent Monday tinkering with the duckdb-developer-day-1-extension-workshop repo, adding a workflow to help future extension developers avoid the pain of manual CI setup. Sometimes the best teaching tool is a little automation that does the boring stuff so students can focus on the fun parts.

Rusty embarked on a telemetry modernization blitz, updating query_farm_telemetry.cpp for version 1.5 across an impressive 33 Query-farm extensions—from a5 and airport to webmacro and crypto—like a developer conducting a symphony of synchronized updates. Between the orchestrated rollout, he fielded community questions on tributary issue #1 about Avro and Schema Registry support, and squeezed in classified commits across six shadowy projects: Project 311classified project, Project 963classified project, Project 137classified project, Project 695classified project, Project 332classified project, and Project 100classified project. When you ship 41 commits in a day, you're either automating brilliantly or really caffeinated.
